In a recent statement on social media platform 'X', Zerodha CEO Nithin Kamath shared his views on Jio-BlackRock entering the Indian stockbroking scene. Kamath considered it a positive development, noting Jio's vast distribution capabilities, which could help expand the market beyond the top 10 crore individuals currently participating.
Kamath expressed concerns about the current limitations in the Indian stock market's breadth of participation, stressing the need for expanded involvement. He assured that Zerodha remains focused on customer interests, avoiding vanity metrics, and maintaining profitability by doing the right thing for clients.

He argued that deep financial resources alone do not guarantee dominance, emphasizing ethical practices and long-term customer success.
